Growing Season
2023 growing season has been characterized by a regular winter followed by a fresh and humid spring with frequent rainshowers in May and June, that were crucial to face the heat and lack of water of the following months. The hydric reserves, accumulated in the first part of the year, prevented the vines from going into water stress in summer and thus, allowed them to complete their growth circle. Finally, the perfect climate conditions in the fall, with a great exchange in temperatures between sunny days and cool nights, favored the grapes ripening and secured a high quality harvest.
